How to modify this bar chart in SSRS to have the Y axis labels show up on the left side of the chart? The only way I was able to get the Y axis labels to show at all was to select one of the series, choose Series Properties...Axes and Chart Areas, and select Vertical axis: Secondary. Setting the vertical axis to 'Primary' causes it to not be displayed on the chart in design or preview.
Suffice to say, in this chart, because of big discrepancies between groups, it is difficult to line up the categories visually when they are on the right side.

Well, for reasons unclear, it appears the chart did not have 'Show Vertical Axis' selected. This behaved differently than if I selected the Series->Axes and Chart Areas->Vertical axis: and attempted to change the Secondary to the Primary.
Selecting 'Show Vertical Axis', and deselecting 'Show Secondary Vertical Axis' achieved the desired effect. Category headings are on the left of the bars in the chart. It is now easier for the eye to track for both categories with very high or very low values.
